Nserv wants to be a Nodejitsu / Heroku / No.de style PaaS for deploying node.js applciations which can be hosted on your own servers. Nserv uses nodejitsu applications forever and node-http-proxy so is running entirely on nodejs. A total works in progress, probably with a lot of bugs.

You must first start the nserv server: nserv start, this will create a http proxy table and route any domains added to it via: nserv create domain.com.

After creating an application you will be shown a git remote within the console that you can add to your local repo. Once added execute git push nserv master and your app will be updated and restarted automatically.

For now your main server file must be called 'server.js' and your app must listen on process.env.PORT. If you provide a package.json file for npm modules add a .gitignore file to remove your node_modules folder. Npm is installed on nserv and installs dependencies automatically.
